PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK - 7 November 2008

Emily Brodnicki

'Hi James, this picture was taken on the Whakapapa side of Mt Ruapehu about 10:00 on 27 October 2008. The sky cleared (as the weather had been terrible) and we had stunning views of Mt Nguarahoe/Mt Tongariro and then this awesome cloud started going over towards it... taken with a Sony Cybershot ditigal camera.
Cheers, Emily.'

Russell Lye

'I took this photo at Blacks Point just out of Reefton. The top only lasted a few minutes but thought it looked interesting. Taken with a
Canon S5 IS, 1/1600 f5.0 on 5 October 2008 at 13:00 looking NW and the wind was SW. Love the website I check it every day wrote Russell.

Peter Whitcombe

'This is a photo I took early September from a friends front porch at
Lake Tekapo. It was blowing a steady nor'wester, the sun was setting,
and I was dreaming about the following day's skiing. Shot with a Canon
Powershot S3 IS' wrote Peter.

Malcolm Ferguson

'Hi James,
once in a very long while an opportunity for a good pic happens such as this, 4 shots stitched, to encompass the whole scene.
Canon Powershot A710 IS, Regards,
Malcolm.'

Jude Marsden

'I thought this photo might be a candidate for your front page?
I took it 1 November 2008 at Waitetoko on the edge of Lake Taupo at 19:00.
The sun was above the clouds (obviously), reflecting off another cloud to touch the lake at 45 degrees, and then the second reflection off the millpond-like lake.
Hence the 'x' like effect.
An Olympus Mini 4megapixel,
Regards,
Jude,'

Carl wrote 'This picture was taken on the 28 October 2008 on a vineyard in Central Otago just east of the Pisa range looking north during a westerly. Camera Canon 5D at focal length of 16mm. This wave seems to be very regular when the westerly comes over the Pisa Range.'

Graham Allan

'Hi James,

Pauline Bethell

' Hi James,
Compared to some of the beautiful photography on your site, I feel very much an amateur, but thought I would submit this snapshot of our evening sky in Paeroa, captured at 19:56 3 March 2008. Taken with a Canon Power Shot A95.
I really enjoy photography, and feel there is so much to be learnt from the experts that submit their photography to your site.
Thanks for such a wonderful site..... most interesting.
Pauline Bethell'

Chris Hill

Hi James,
I realise the picture was taken several months ago, on the autumnal equinox (21 March 2008) and is not relevant to this month's weather, but I look back to those halcyon days of the drought with longing. The weather was clear bright in the morning and I took this with my Kodak dx7590 set on auto exposure, regards, Chris Hill.'
